Have you heard anyone here say that they wanted individually run personal fire departments? Has anyone said we don&#39;t need teachers? Sure perhaps non-government schools, but teachers are necessary. Roads? Successful private businesses contributed their fair share to those roads. The Internet? The government portion/percentage of patent filings is probably quite low. The Internet is a red herring example. I could go on but your points are tired and trite.<br /><br />You accuse us of being gullible Ema?

Murdoch Media/Fox Network, lying, told you, Mr ....<br /><br />Murdoch Media/Fox Network, lying, told you, Mr Obama said: <br />“If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”<br /><br />In truth, Mr Obama said:<br /><br />“Let me tell you something. There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”<br /><br />You have in front of you, a direct quote of what the man said. A second entity tells you the man said something HE DID NOT SAY, a lie. You choose to side with the liar.<br /><br />The saddest part of all this, is Murdoch Media/Fox Networks know Mr Obama was talking about ‘roads and bridges’ and Murdoch Media/Fox Networks do not care that they are lying to _you_! Murdoch Media/Fox Networks know you (and thousands of other suckers) will soil yourself over the lie without thinking. The amazing thing is that you willingly and ignorantly believe the bull sh!t from Murdoch Media/Fox Networks that’s handed to gullible, low-information folks like you, and then parade your ignorance as though it’s something to be proud of.<br /><br /><br />What does this say about _YOU_, that you are willing to allow such illegitimate deceitfulness? Why would any honest people ever want to join ‘your side, if you are willing to align yourself with liars?’<br /><br />Ema Nymton<br />~@:o?<br />.Ema Nymtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291372077565212886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470998992775036574.post-13248677208675210562012-07-19T08:03:50.015-07:002012-07-19T08:03:50.015-07:00your comment does nothing to address the risk assu...your comment does nothing to address the risk assumed by the entepreneur vs. risk assumed by the collective. you also ignore that the entrepreneur pays for the infrastructure at a rate similar to, if not more than, the average person in the collective.<br /><br />&quot;Did Charles Lindbergh build his own plane?&quot; no. he used his own money and invested capital to make the decision to buy a lighter plane based on his personal experience. see what the failures of his predecessors taught him.<br /><br />&quot;he fetch his own oil, refine his own fuel, grow and roast his own coffee?&quot; nope. again. money. personal. see above.<br /><br />&quot;Did he invent the radio or the navigation tools?&quot; no. but he used his own money to buy them, and invested time to learn how to use said inventions.<br /><br />&quot;When you say nothing is built alone, you acknowledge that you have benefited from your schooling (usually public school for most of us), you benefited from paved roads, police to keep order (it&#39;s real hard to run a business in an anarchy - unless you&#39;re selling guns!), clean water - a myriad of things that We The People have banded together to provide for ourselves.

Somebody else made that happen.” is entirely ignorant of what entepreneurs actually have to deal with. the quote takes away any kind of accolades for success by taking a chance on one&#39;s own. <br /><br />i think you misconstrue the mercury v limberg analogies. what limberg did was a private venture. the mercury program was a governmental program. the two are distinct in their funding, mission, and nature, so the analogies are incompatible to the discussion.<br /><br />now with respect to limberg&#39;s ground crew...<br /><br />did the ground crew fly the plane and risk their lives? did the ground crew pay the ground crew? who bought the tools for the ground crew? did the ground crew use their own money to build the aircraft? did the ground crew purchase the aircraft? did the ground crew purchase the gasoline? what risk did the ground crew assume, if any?<br /><br />limberg raised the necessary capital for his venture by taking on private investors as well as risking his own wealth. the prize was eternal fame and the sizeable orsteig reward. <br /><br />this is what entrepreneurs do.<br /><br />and in the end it came down to one man in one airplane risking all for success. this is why it is widely known that limberg was the first to go nonstop from new york to paris. the history books do not state that it was &quot;limberg, his ground crew, and private investors&quot; for a reason. and said books do not (yet)state that obama was involved.<br /><br />when you apply the above obama quote to limbaugh&#39;s risk, obama comes off as an ignorant simpleton with no real concept of what entrepreneurs do or what they are risking. to say what he said is an insult.drozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515299382409725823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470998992775036574.post-74654566643458371932012-07-16T10:49:02.883-07:002012-07-16T10:49:02.883-07:00Adam Smith called it &quot;labor specialization&qu...Adam Smith called it &quot;labor specialization&quot; or some such thing.

All that can be given is opportunity and that was paid for in blood by the enslaved &quot;subjects&quot; who broke from the state owned utopia of kings. <br /><br />Instead of feeling envy for the success of others, appreciate our successes, failures and choices that are in sum known as freedom. <br /><br />You can be sure that the more collectivism calls into question the ability of the individual, the less opportunity will be made availaible by the &quot;selfless&quot;, soulless, immoral, uncaring utopian state.Doo Doo Econhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010201031724821495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470998992775036574.post-74312223405864918482012-07-16T08:09:48.581-07:002012-07-16T08:09:48.581-07:00.
